Ingredients:
6-8 servings
- 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. pork tenderloin
- 1/3 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 3 Tbsps avocado oil, melted unrefined organic coconut oil, melted ghee, or olive oil
- 3 Tbsps apple cider vinegar
- 4 fresh cloves garlic, pressed
- sea salt and ground pepper to taste
- freshly chopped parsley, to garnish
How to make honey mustard pork tenderloin:
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Pat the tenderloin completely dry with a paper towel and place it in a baking dish. Let it get to room temp by setting it on the counter for about 30 minutes prior to cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, oil, apple cider vinegar, pressed garlic, sea salt, and pepper until well combined.
Rub the tenderloin all over with your honey mustard mixture. Keep and set aside about 1/4 of this mixture (untouched by the raw meat) to baste at the end of cooking.
Roast in your preheated oven for around 40-45 minutes, or just until the internal center temperature reaches 145 degrees f. This will result in a roast that is both safe and at its best quality—juicy and tender.
Baste with the sauce from the bottom of the dish every 15 minutes during roasting.
Once your tenderloin is finished cooking, baste with the remaining mustard mixture that you sat aside (untouched by raw meat) and remove from the oven to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice, garnish with parsley and enjoy immediately!

Rachel’s Tips for Best Results
- To make sure this pork loin comes out tender and juicy, be sure to only cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F, otherwise it will dry out.
- Also be sure to let the tenderloin rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serving Suggestions
- You will love eating this main dish with our Perfectly Roasted Parmesan Asparagus, Smashed Roasted Cauliflower, or Air Fryer Broccoli for some delicious vegetable sides.
- Another favorite is our Crispy Roasted Purple Potatoes, and our Crispy Crunchy Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Chips.
- For something lighter, you could add a salad like our Roasted Broccoli Caesar Salad.
Leftover Storage and Reheat
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Or, if you are planning to eat this a while from now, you can freeze the pork medallions for up to 3 months. When its time to reheat, you can use the microwave to heat the medallions until they are warmed through.
Remember to finish this delicious meal off right…with a clean dessert! Here are our favorites to eat with this dish, Maple Sweet Potato Brownies, Matcha Chia Pudding with Raspberry (in Holiday Colors!), and Dairy-free Chocolate Tart.
